Top pick: #1 (DI LISSA) (3-1) - Mare has early speed and is racing third back from a nine month layoff. Five-year-old is moving from turf to dirt, dropping in class, shortening up in distance, and breaks from the rail.
2nd pick: #5 (Kisses for Romeo) (5-1) - Filly raced evenly here May 30 going 6-furlongs on the grass for twice this price. It was her first race in nine weeks and 3-year-old is brought back quickly, drops in class, goes turf to dirt, and has blinkers added.
3rd pick: #2 (Stormy Sky) (6-1) - Daughter of 'Sky Mesa' exits the same May 17 race as 'Di Lissa.' Racing off a seven month layoff, she was very nervous when entering the gate and predictably tired after racing close up early on. She's worked well twice at Saratoga since then and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Dia de Enchante) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, filly from the Pletcher barn ships from Monmouth where she finished second at this tag going 8.5-furlongs on the turf. She has the best figures but is vulnerable at a short price.
